[Xapian-discuss] Proximity in Xapian?

[Sharjeel Ahmed Qureshi]

Thats a little confusing. Shouldn't it be
"foo AND bar OR (foo NEAR/5 bar)" ?
              ^^
Because I think putting an AND will restrict to only those results in 
which foo, bar are five places apart. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Sharjeel
